Why a $35 Million Greenland Rare Earth Deal Just Put One Small-Cap on Every Investor's RadarMay 21, 2026 11:21 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Greenland Mines Ltd.A Toronto-listed industry leader is handing the keys to one of Greenland's most strategically valuable rare earth projects to a new Nasdaq-listed developer — and staying on as a partner.NEW YORK, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA NEWS GROUP News Commentary — The rare earth sector just got a fresh jolt of momentum. Rare earth elements — the 17 metals that power EV motors, wind turbines, fighter jets, robots, and just about every advanced electronic device — have become one of the most fought-over commodities on the planet. According to S&P Global, the supply of rare earths remains one of the least diversified among all critical minerals, with China still controlling roughly 61% of global mining and 91% of global refining capacity. [1] That dependence has become a problem for Western governments and manufacturers. Industry analysts at S&P Global expect rare earth supply outside of China to remain tight through 2026 and 2027, especially for the heavy rare earths used in the strongest magnets. [1] This is the backdrop against which a significant Greenland rare earth deal just landed.A Strategic Shift in GreenlandOn May 21, 2026, Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO) (OTCQX: NOPMF) — a Toronto-based maker of rare earth magnets and advanced materials — announced that its subsidiary, together with the other shareholders, have entered into an agreement to transfer the outstanding shares of Neo North Star Resources, Inc. (NNSR) to Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML). NNSR holds the exploration license for the Sarfartoq Carbonatite Complex in southwest Greenland — a project rich in neodymium and praseodymium, the two most important rare earths for permanent magnets. [2]The total consideration is US$35 million, made up of US$20 million in cash and US$15 million in shares of Greenland Mines. Neo's wholly-owned subsidiary Neo North Star Holdings Inc. ("NNSH"), together with the other NNSR shareholders, have entered into the agreement to transfer their shares to Greenland Mines. NNSH currently owns 43.69% of NNSR. Just as importantly, Neo is staying involved: it keeps an equity stake in Greenland Mines, and the existing MOU for an offtake agreement covering up to 60% of the ore or mineral concentrate from the Sarfartoq project is unaffected by the transaction. [2]A leading rare earth magnet maker just chose Greenland Mines to take the lead on advancing one of its most strategic upstream assets — and is still planning to be a customer."We wish Greenland Mines every success as they advance this project, while we maintain our commitment as an offtake partner and shareholder," said Rahim Suleman, President and CEO of Neo, in the company's release. "This agreement reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation." [2]Why Sarfartoq Stands OutSarfartoq is not a brand-new exploration story. Neo originally bought the project from Hudson Resources in 2023 for US$3.5 million, with closing subject to Government of Greenland approval. [3]What makes Sarfartoq attractive is the mix of rare earths in the rock. According to Neo's disclosures, the project hosts a mineral deposit with a high concentration of neodymium and praseodymium — together making up roughly 25% to 40% of total rare earth oxides on the property. [3] These two elements are the main ingredients in the powerful magnets used inside EV motors, wind turbines, and high-efficiency industrial drives.Location is another advantage. Sarfartoq sits about 60 kilometers from the international airport in Kangerlussuaq, has tidewater and major port access, and is close to one of the best hydroelectric power sources in Greenland. [3] That infrastructure access is rare — most undeveloped rare earth projects sit in remote regions with no roads, no power, and no port.Why This Matters for Greenland Mines InvestorsGreenland Mines is a Nasdaq-listed critical minerals developer that came together earlier in 2026 when Klotho Neurosciences (formerly Nasdaq: KLTO) acquired Greenland Mines Corp. and rebranded the combined company. The result is a unique structure with two divisions: a Natural Resources arm focused on Greenland projects, and a Cell and Gene Therapy arm that retained the KLTO-202 ALS program. [4]Until now, the company's flagship asset was the Skaergaard Project in Southeast Greenland — one of the world's largest undeveloped palladium-gold-platinum deposits, with an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource carrying a gross undiscounted in-situ metal value of roughly US$68 billion at February 2026 metal prices, calculated on an illustrative basis and before any technical or economic factors. [4]The Sarfartoq deal adds a second world-class project on the other side of the same country. Greenland Mines is going from a single-asset developer to a multi-asset critical minerals platform covering both precious metals (palladium, gold, platinum) and rare earths (neodymium, praseodymium) in a stable Western-aligned jurisdiction.And the partnership with Neo is the kind of validation that small-cap mineral developer rarely get. Neo is an established, revenue-generating, TSX-listed advanced materials company that posted Q1 2026 revenue of about US$155 million and adjusted EBITDA of US$36.2 million. [5] Having that kind of partner on the cap table — and as a future customer — is a powerful signal for the market.Four Companies Riding the Same TailwindGreenland Mines is far from alone in trying to build a Western alternative to China's grip on rare earths. Here are four other companies investors are watching as money flows back into this space.1. MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP)MP Materials owns the only operating rare earth mine in the United States — the Mountain Pass mine in California. The facility produces refined neodymium-praseodymium oxide and is now expanding downstream into rare earth magnets at its Independence facility in Fort Worth, Texas. [6]MP has become a market leader thanks to government backing. The U.S. Department of Defense has taken a ~15% equity stake, secured a 10-year price floor of US$110/kg on MP's neodymium-praseodymium oxide, and signed a 10-year magnet offtake agreement. [6] Analysts expect MP to begin magnet sales from its Texas facility in the second half of 2026, transitioning from a concentrate seller to a finished-magnet manufacturer — a much higher-margin business.2. Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML)Critical Metals operates in Greenland too. In April 2026, the company closed its acquisition of the remaining 50.5% interest in Tanbreez, bringing its total ownership of the southern Greenland rare earth project to 92.5%. [7] Tanbreez is one of the world's largest known deposits of heavy rare earth elements, which includes dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium — the elements with the biggest supply premiums right now.In March 2026, the company's board approved a US$30 million acceleration program to fast-track development, targeting first ore production by late 2028 or early 2029. [8] For investors comparing Greenland-focused rare earth plays, CRML is the most direct geographic comparable to Greenland Mines.3. Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA)Aclara is taking a different angle on the rare earth opportunity. The company has ionic-clay rare earth projects in Brazil and Chile, and in October 2025 announced plans for a US$277 million heavy rare earth separation facility in Louisiana. [9] Aclara, which is majority-owned by the Hochschild Group, says the Louisiana plant could supply more than three-quarters of U.S. dysprosium and terbium demand by 2028.4. Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM: MKA) (OTC: MKNGF)Mkango is advancing the Songwe Hill rare earth project in Malawi and is also building rare earth separation and recycling capacity in the United Kingdom and Poland. Its dual upstream-downstream strategy aims to deliver European-processed rare earth oxides to Western magnet makers — a strategy that lines up with what Neo Performance Materials is doing in Estonia.The Bottom LineThe rare earth investment thesis has not been this strong in years. China still dominates the supply chain. Demand from EVs, wind turbines, defense systems, and AI data centers is climbing. Western governments are putting serious money behind anyone building a domestic alternative.Against that backdrop, Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) just landed one of the most strategic rare earth deals in the small-cap space — with a credible TSX-listed partner that is also a future customer, on a project with infrastructure access most peers can only dream about, in a Western-aligned jurisdiction. For investors looking for rare earth supply chain exposure without buying the largest, most expensive names, this is the kind of catalyst that can put a small-cap on the institutional radar fast.For more information on Greenland Mines Ltd., visit: https://usanewsgroup.com/grml-landingContact

Aclara Resources, Virginia Tech launch rare earth separation pilot plant

Aclara Resources (TSX: ARA) has entered into a strategic partnership with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the operation of its rare earth separation pilot plant.

The plant, currently under implementation at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg, will showcase Aclara’s solvent extraction technology for producing individual high-purity light and heavy rare earth elements, the company said.

The facility is expected to produce over 99.5% pure didymium/praseodymium-neodymium (NdPr), terbium (Tb) and dysprosium (Dy) from Aclara’s sustainable Brazil-sourced feedstock—creating a supply chain for critical rare earth elements outside of China.

The Canadian rare earth developer has said its Carina deposit, located in the state of Goiás, could generate 191 tonnes a year of dysprosium and terbium, heavy rare earths used in electric vehicle manufacturing.

Aclara opened in April its semi-industrial heavy rare earth pilot plant, which it will use to test the production of dysprosium and terbium from ionic clay extracted from the Carina project.

Last month, the company formed an alliance with Stanford University to accelerate the development of AI innovations aimed at securing a sustainable supply chain for heavy rare earth elements.

The partnership unites Aclara’s proprietary separation technology with Virginia Tech’s leadership in mining and materials science to strengthen domestic access to critical minerals, advance R&D, and prepare the next generation of skilled talent, the company said in a news release.

.

Climber18,_I watch_Aclara every_day but_I still
just don't see the new spark of activity/exploration/permitting/cash-influx that encourages me to invest more in this stock. The Aclara PR trick last November to make it look like CORFO was "on board" with Aclara and a "good buddy-buddy" with Aclara https://www-df-cl.translate.goog/empresas/mineria/corfo-se-lanza-contra-minera-aclara-dice-que-no-hizo-una-valoracion?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp really turned me off on Ramón Barúa and his ethics/integrity/vision and viable plan for becoming established in Chile.

I want to hope Aclara is going to be successful but it is not going to get a "break" in Chile (esp Penco) while Boric's thieving commies are running the government. Similarly in Brazil as long as Lula is running the government it will take a huge amount of under the table bribes/payoffs to the bureaucrats to get the proper mining permits and I am doubtful that will change until Bolsonaro can get back in the presidential office.

You need to be extremely conservative until these guys actually start turning shovelfuls of dirt on the new project in Brazil.

Unfortunately, Brazil is currently treading on dangerous ground today by loudly complicating/protesting/severing relations with Israel https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/bolivia-severs-diplomatic-ties-with-israel-citing-crimes-against-humanity-2023-10-31/
In retaliation if Israel sends a message to the Jewish bankers in New York, London, Zurich, etal to cut-off/squeeze loans going to Brazil then in dominoes-falling collateral damage effect Aclara is going to have a hard time getting funding for this new project in Brazil. Also, Penco in Chile is virtually dead until at least 2026 and then only will have a chance to even start up if Jose Antonio Kast is elected president and reins in these phony environmentalist (and commie) extortionists.

Once Aclara leaves Penco then some leftist/commie beaner brand new rare-earth miner (most likely with an indian or lesbian/queer JV partner after a year or two if scheming Marcela Hernando is elected president in 2026) will suddenly come in to this project brand spanking new, amazingly discover rare earths in the ground, get the financing to start a project (using Mario Marcel's contacts) and begin mining Penco almost immediately with tonnes of approved permits happily coming out of thierass overnight from Marcela (including SEA) and making gobs of money for the leftists/commies. How Mario Marcel could travel up to Canada in June 2023 for Chile Day https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chile-day-toronto-opens-market-150800395.html and invite honest hard-working capitalist Canadians to come down to Chile to invest their seed money in this corrupt extortion-happy backstabbingshithole Chile just boggles the mind.

Dear Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando, I would be willing to bet a million bucks that after you and your rabid thieving leftist/commie conspirators (and fellow half-breed indians) drive Aclara out of Chile (to Brazil) that one of your bloodsucking leftist/commie patrons buys the Penco land if you get elected president in 2026 and coincidentally opens up a rare earths mining/processing operation almost identical to the one Aclara was trying to start up.

Hopefully the deal-killing NIMBY anti-mining Biobío bureaucrats will have higher echelon state overseers watching over their shoulders this time who will make sure real civil/mining engineers are given the responsibility to technically review this new SEA permit as opposed to having typical incompetent beaner seafood fishery inspectors review (and auto-kill) Aclara's SEA application again.

Chile has enabled every greedy little conniving Tom, Dick & Harry & Julio with a grudge against miners or looking for a bribe to kill any SEA study with the click of their fingers. For Penco a couple of self-important puffed up political hacks at the Biobío Environmental Assessment Service have taken aim at this Penco project and blown 6 scraggly orange out of perspective anointing them as sacred creations when they could easily be replaced or relocated for $400 each. Chile under Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric and ultra-communist Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando have declared war on miners... especially Canadian gringo miners.

with a pitiful 142,000 overpriced shares pretty much falls flat on its face https://www.americanbankingnews.com/2023/01/25/eduardo-hochschild-acquires-142000-shares-of-aclara-resources-tseara-to-stock.html

Dear Eduardo, you need to get all the beaners living in their hovels around the Penco project to sign a petition inviting you to mine the Penco Module... that is the way things work in thisshithole banana republic Chile... and remember to bring an extra fat wallet (or two or three) as you drive that petition around in your US$150,000 air-conditioned deluxe SUV for signatures.

Aclara's_Ramón Barúa_goes on_new charm_offensive in_Chile to_convince
leftists/commies/naysayers/Penco-homeowners/politicians to support future new project in Penco Module

We are certainly impressed by Ramón Barúa's new efforts but we would like to see some reassuring endorsements for the project from these leftists/commies/naysayers/Penco-homeowners/politicians now. President Gabriel Boric's juvenile leftist effeminate government has been cutting the balls off every junior miner in Chile for the past year and we investors need to see some tangible proof that the same won't happen to Aclara next.

On paper this all sounds reasonable, logical, and pragmatic for developing this project along fundamentally good ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) guidelines in an ideal capitalist-loving free-enterprise country but I have spent the last 10 years invested in a Chilean lithium mine near corrupt slimy leftist-controlled Copiapo (reference stab-us-in-the-back ladies-man beaner Governor Miguel Vargas) in Maricunga Chile that has yet to sell even one kilogram of lithium and to think Chileans are anywhere even near being reasonable, logical, and pragmatic is a total freaking waste of time. If you are not fighting right wing fascists in the real & shadow government dead set on killing your project through government regulation/bureaucracy to protect the existing old world upper 1% ultra-wealthy elites/class of white Spanish descent who control powerful existing claim-jumping mining companies then you are fighting left-wing commies intent on nationalizing your new mine a few minutes after you have spent all your seed/start-up money perfecting the research/engineering/pilot-plants plus corralling all the free-loading eco-terrorist flat-out extorting cocaine snorting indians (Mapuche, Colla, Camar etal ad nauseam) to get their sign-offs after they have been fully 110% satiated through bribery/kickbacks.

If the Aclara "Outlook" writers could next address in their Penco plan how they actually intend to satisfy all the corrupt conniving thieving foot-dragging government bureaucrats in the current leftist/commie anti-mining government led by commie-loving Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric and Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando along with their plan for getting the locals (eg bloodsuckers, freeloaders, moochers, dopers, part-time eco-terroist indians descendant from Russian Inuit/Eskimos hundreds of years ago) to even allow this project to begin to go forward on their "tribal lands" (aka sacred junkyards/landfills) then we potential/future shareholders would indeed greatly appreciate this additional "direction/input" also.

PS, and what is the timetable for securing a nearly-impossible-in-this-sheethole-country SEA approval?

in 2021 https://www.mining.com/hochschild-to-spin-off-chilean-rare-earths-project/

Going back to 2019 we can see Peruvian miner Hochschild's reasoning for initially buying (US$56M) this project in Chile

which appears to be sound/logical.

OK,_here we_go. Let's_ get ourselves_up to date_rapido on Aclara.

February 2022, 99% of the locals in Chile are not in favor of this Penco project being built in Chile so this is a huge ballbuster right from the git go.

Now we start our due diligence... unfortunately we know all about Chile and the associated graft/corruption/bureaucratic-thievery/extortion in this two-bitshithole banana-republic having previously invested in Maricunga lithium (NewCo/LPI/Bearing) already so let's check that box off right now on our DD list first. .
